There was a disaster. My family were scientists, they found out beforehand, but the council didn't listen until it was too late to do anything but try and get away. My parents got me into a ship with some supplies, and... I didn't realize they weren't coming with me until the cockpit closed behind me. It was just me, flying away to somewhere I'd never heard of as my planet exploded.
My aunt and uncle did the same thing. They didn't escape, but they sent their baby off to Earth alone. But my ship got caught in a wormhole, so even though I didn't age, I didn't get to Earth until Kal was already grown up. So I'm probably the only person left who remembers what home was like. That's why I couldn't imagine not knowing, like you.
